Following the Paris Attacks, Landmarks Begin to Reopen

In the wake of the attacks across Paris over the weekend, certain landmarks and museums in the City of Light remain closed. While many museums in Paris are already closed on Mondays, others have stayed closed until 1 p.m. today, opening after a nationwide moment of silence. For tourists in Paris, information on what is open can be found through the city’s Convention and Visitor’s Bureau website or on the Tourist Office's Twitter. The Eiffel Tower are reopened late Monday afternoon and will be lit with the national colors for three days, after two days of staying dark. Disneyland Paris will remain closed through Tuesday, as will the French capital's aquarium and zoo. Airports and the Gare du Nord train station are in fact open, as are the Metro lines, but the visitor’s bureau suggests travelers plan for delays due to police checks. These major attractions will be closed Monday, November 16:

Louvre Museum, Arc de Triomphe, Musée de l'Orangerie, and Pantheon are all now open. Schools, sports arenas, and parks have reopened and the city's street markets are also open to the public, albeit with increased security. Public gatherings and demonstrations are prohibited until November.
